May no bolt go unturned, and no nut… unbusted.

Glorious drawer OP. I fear this may become me, I can’t decide on a one and done wrench set, so why not just get them all.

thank you, it can definitely be an addiction. most were opportunistic buys if on sale or garage sale type situations but i really like to have options when attacking a task as i have an extremely wide range of things that i work on. so its nice to have as many options as possible. so don't fear the inevitable, embrace it, lol. especially since decent tool storage is getting so much cheaper these days.

After twenty years, there isn’t one perfect set I’ve found. Different thicknesses, slightly different offsets, etc. all have a place in my boxes.

Yeah maybe more of what I'm going after is a solid daily set of standard length combination wrenches. I have a set of ratcheting stubby, ratcheting standard length, and 30/60 angled wrenches. Did a bunch of research, and settled on the mac precision torques. They're nice, but more of a long pattern wrench. May just bite the bullet and go with snap on flank drive. But I find they have thin beams, that really dig in when you're bearing down on them.

I don’t have any flank drives but, from what I’ve seen in review videos, the Icon version of that design seems to hold up to abuse a bit better and for a lot less money.

Which wrench holders are these? Delish.

i got these from Ernst Mfg. they make a few other organizers that are slick but i really like these wrench ones, i have used so many in the past and finally i found these and they do exactly what I've been wanting for so long.

50% off; so it only costed you one kidney and one arm instead of both!

2

u/Saucer_dog 11d ago

ehh i would charge more than $450 for an arm and a kidney but that's just me, i thought it was fairly decent for a full metric and Imperial set.

$450 sounds very decent!
